Life is Strange - Episode 1

Why do I have so many photos?? Don’t worry, this is not an “impressions” piece or a review. There will be no spoilers. I just wanted to remark upon something I found odd to start with but accepted upon deeper thought. As you probably know, the game has Tell Tale-style decisions that supposedly affect what you experience further in the game (although as several have argued, the decisions don’t really matter all that much).

Miscellaneous update

Welp, as seems to be the norm with me, my blog appears to have once again fallen into a state of disrepair. Quick, time to make another long post covering everything that’s happened over the past few months! This time around I think I’ll eschew lists in favor of just letting my mind wander. At the office, I started working on a hush-hush project. The only thing I can say is that it involves integrating a third-party user-agent into our software, thereby allowing customers the freedom to interact with our network elements and configure network services in a variety of ways (including a few popular ones that we haven’t supported so far).

The Metal Gear series

Just finished the fourth game. I think I can see why there are so many fans of the series, and why most of them worship Hideo Kojima.

I blame Dark Souls

Till date I haven’t played a game like this one (have a 360, so haven’t played Demon’s Souls). It’s addictive at an entirely new level.

A brief hiatus from plugin development

I’ll be taking a break from developing this plugin, either till October 12th (Battlefield 3 beta) or October 31st (Ludum Dare October 2011 Challenge). I’ve been wanting to pick up Unity for a while now, and this challenge seems like a good opportunity to do so. I have one idea for a game I might be able to finish within a month, but the idea’s still pretty vague in my head, so I’m still not decided on whether I’ll participate or not.
